Why A Private Minibus Instead Of A Coach Trip
Most Blackpool day trips you will find advertised are seats on a shared coach, leaving from set towns at set times. Ours is a different thing: your group in a premium 8-seater, collected at your own door in Southport and taken home again, on the times you choose.
The conference seating means everyone faces each other on the way, the USB sockets keep phones charged, and the large boot takes pushchairs, bags and coats. It is booked like the rest of our 8-seater minibus hire in Southport, with your own driver for the trip.
For days out further afield, our day trips by minibus also go to Chester, Alton Towers and the Lakes, and the same vehicle handles airport transfers all year.
The Drive From Southport
Central Blackpool is about an hour from Southport in normal traffic, give or take a few minutes for the Pleasure Beach, the Tower or the Zoo. Summer weekends can add to that, so it is worth leaving a little room in the pickup time.
Pleasure Beach And The Seafront
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is at 525 Ocean Boulevard on the Promenade (FY4 1EZ), and it advertises 10 rollercoasters. It sells its own ride tickets, including an All You Can Ride eTicket, plus a Flex Pass for park entry only, so buy those direct from the park before you go.
Along the seafront there are also SEA LIFE Blackpool and Madame Tussauds Blackpool, which makes it easy to fill a day with younger children or a mixed-age group.
Blackpool Tower And Its Attractions
Blackpool Tower stands on the Promenade (FY1 4BJ). Its official site lists the Tower Top, the Ballroom, the Circus, the Dungeon and Dino Mini Golf, with Madame Tussauds Blackpool alongside. Opening times vary by attraction and by day, and some are closed on certain dates, so check the Tower's calendar for your day before you book the transport.
Blackpool Zoo
Blackpool Zoo is about two miles inland from the Golden Mile, at postcode FY3 8PP. Its animals include Asian elephants, gorillas, orangutans, lions, tigers, penguins, giraffes and sea lions, and the drive from Southport is about an hour. The zoo does not publish minibus drop-off details, so if you want to know where you will be set down, ask the zoo when you buy tickets.
A Day Out With Children
Pushchairs, coolbags and coats go in the large boot, and if you bring a baby car seat we store it free of charge between journeys. If two families are sharing the trip from different houses, each extra pickup or drop-off in the Southport area is £5.00. For more than eight, a second 8-seater or a car can be arranged on request.
For a one-way run with everyone together, the same vehicle works as an 8 seater taxi for the whole family. Between September and early January, our Blackpool Illuminations trips are a separate evening service with their own page.
